Despite the Trump administration’s efforts to memory-hole Jan. 6, thousands of videos from the riot live on ProPublica’s website and other places. Additionally, much of the deleted DOJ database can be found on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. (Published Jan. 2025)

It’s not like the Senate is part of the branch of government with the sole Constitutional power to authorize or prevent the President from invading another country. Every Single Time:

Just how bad is Grok's nonconsensual porn problem? Musk's AI chatbot is generating another sexualized image of someone without their permission every single minute:

Tariffs are great

Always use the mic at a conference even if you’re loud. People who can’t hear you *can’t hear you * when you ask if you can hear them in the back. Some of us went to one too many hardcore shows in our youth without ear plugs and our hearing ain’t what it used to be 🥺 #SICB2026

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

From an email to one of our faculty members.... Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Good morning! 🪶

BEHOLD!

Canada's PM Mark Carney reaffirms commitment to the Alliance, message to US: "Canada & Denmark are Allies; partners in our shared responsibility for the security and resilience of the Arctic." "Canada will always support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark, including Greenland."

A year into this Trumpian shi-tshow and it's clear that he's built a regime full of monsters, idiots, and madmen. It's why we must keep fighting as hard as we can. My latest 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-trump-...

I fear time will muddy these waters. They didn’t march on the Capitol _just_ because he had been riling them up with his general vitriol for months. They marched on the Capitol because he told them to do it, point blank, on the day it happened.

I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras. Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom. They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water. (📷: Fernando Maidana)

This is Kylo. He's Dominican, so he learned to dance before he could walk. 12/10 impressive moves (TT: chantyyyy_)

Not crazy to say there was a much clearer criminal case against MBS, who ordered the murder of an American newspaper columnist, than there is against Maduro.

Today seems like a good day to wear this shirt. We don’t let fascists rewrite history or redraw maps.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured. Trump then pardoned the attackers. He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

Absolutely true, and somehow not-discussed point: The US **ALREADY** has all the strategic advantages it could gain by "owning" Greenland. Through treaties and (until now) close NATO cooperation w Denmark The US has a naval base & 'space force' base there. You see USAF planes at Grndlnd airports

Joint statement from major NATO members: “Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.”

It's true but to me "the voters" are farther down on the responsibility scale. At the top are the elites who failed to understand the danger, the necessity for accountability, and kinda just hoped this would all go away. In a healthy political system he'd never be allowed to run again

No one I’ve admitted this year for influenza has been vaccinated.

this just so perfectly encapsulates the decades-long messaging failures by the dems

just a reminder of the initial, in the moment, right wing reaction to jan 6 my favorite is greg gutfeld saying republican condemnation of the jan 6 rioters is an example of their moral superiority over the left www.mediamatters.org/media/4018641

It appears two ICE observers following ICE agents on 31st in south Minneapolis this morning were arrested. Activists say it appears the ICE observer vehicle was stopped or slid into something, and ICE agents used pepper spray and broke the car window, arresting the occupants.

Elon Musk's wealth has already increased by $24 billion in 2026.

Your occasional reminder that Trump is the most unpopular president in modern (post-WWII) times. He's underwater in 40 states with the remaining ten representing only 59 of the total 538 electoral votes (!) If only media would preface and frame their POTUS coverage with these telling data.

1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years But we've identified 10 promise keepers: Farmers Airbnb Expedia Nike Clorox Eversource Energy Holland & Hart Qurate Whirlpool Lyft

The fact that there is no one who has instantly shut this down is one of the biggest indictments of the entire AI industry, Elon Musk, and our current government that we’ve seen yet.

Activity is really hot this morning on Lake Street and Powderhorn. There’s also confirmed ICE vehicles using Uber stickers. Please be careful. 1/

You can commission me ✌️ This is the kind of thing I do. You can share that post to help me, if you want 🙏

I'm shocked, I tell you! Shocked! theintercept.com/2026/01/03/m...

Folks, this is what at least 21 states want to do to your First Amendment rights. It’s no joke and it’s dangerous. It is the fifth day of a new year.

Older adults are the fastest-growing homeless population across the U.S. Now some shelters are trying to make it easier to accommodate older people. n.pr/4qx0iOo

The Heber City Police Department started using a pair of AI programs, Draft One and Code Four, to automatically generate police reports from body camera footage in December. A report generated by the Draft One program mistakenly reported that an officer had been turned into a frog. 🐸😂😂😂

I just want people to remember that what this was was transparently obvious at the time and universally condemned. Hold on to that fact and don't let people change it under you.

Made a little dude.

Taking stock of my progress over the last 5 years since I started painting again. Here's the first mini I did after losing my dominant arm, and the last one for contrast. I keep Nigel the Ultramarine on my desk to remind myself that I've improved massively no matter what the brain gremlins say :)

10 years ago today the draft Announcement of Opportunity for New Frontiers 4 was released. The list of potential destinations was as expected save for the surprising addition of “Ocean Worlds (Titan and Enceladus)”, setting into motion one of the most chaotic years of my entire life…

This reminds me of white people in the antebellum South who had no slaves but supported the system because racial superiority was all they had. We have to be a gangster state because it makes a few losers feel cool

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

This story is chilling. During Banned Books Week, a Minnesota public school librarian was fired for having a banned books display and for ordering books for his library. Recall that Minnesota has an anti-banned book law. They only matter if they're enforced. archive.ph/PcB0B

NPR built a visual archive of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, showing exactly what happened through the lenses of the people who were there. In "Chapter 2: Stop the Steal," we look at how false claims of a stolen election mobilized Trump supporters.

Five years ago. My God.

Hey West Coast - if your local station’s preempting Marketplace tonight, we’ve got a podcast.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life
